Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Upon hearing this, Violet, who had just been overjoyed, felt as if struck by lightning, leaving her completely blank!

Not only did Violet react so strongly, but even Luo Feng's companions behind him looked at him with puzzled expressions, wondering what their captain was up to...

"Captain... Captain, I... I didn't quite understand what you meant. Didn't you say you were going to take action against Dover..."

Violet was clearly startled by Luo Feng's words. What she thought was about to succeed had taken an unexpected turn, leaving her somewhat unable to accept it.

The genuine joy that had previously graced Violet's pretty face was gone, replaced by a somewhat pale expression as she forced a smile and asked Luo Feng.

However, before she could finish speaking, Luo Feng interrupted her.

“That’s right, I did say I was going to deal with Doflamingo because Law has a grudge against him, so I will go and kill him…”

At this point, Luo Feng's expression became somewhat strange, and he said, "But this seems to be a completely different matter from dealing with the Don Quixote family and rescuing Dressrosa, doesn't it?"

"Law's goal is to seek personal revenge against Doflamingo, so I'll only target him. It doesn't seem necessary to wipe out the entire Donquixote Family, does it?"

"As for rescuing Dressrosa, that's utter nonsense. We're not heroes, and we don't want to be saviors. Why bother with something that only creates more trouble?"

This time, Luo Feng made it very clear that even if Violet pretended not to understand, it was unlikely to work.

Upon hearing these words, Violet was completely dumbfounded.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that's indeed the case...

If this group's target is only Doflamingo, then they can just deal with this young master and leave. Why bother attacking the entire Donquixote Family?

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Violet's lips. One thought can lead to heaven or hell, and a sense of sorrow welled up in her heart. She never expected that the glimmer of hope that she thought was so close would really be shattered like a dream bubble!

There was nothing she could do. She knew perfectly well that even if the Donquixote Family lost Doflamingo, their greatest asset and strongest member, they were still no match for a weak woman like her with questionable combat abilities.

The remaining Don Quixote family executives are still very powerful, enough to continue to intimidate and control Dressrosa. They have no chance of turning the tide!

Overwhelmed with grief, Violet felt increasingly powerless to move, as if she could already see the door of hope that had been so painstakingly opened slowly closing...

Looking at Violet kneeling helplessly before him, Luo Feng suddenly laughed. His laugh was... inexplicable, and to put it bluntly, it was somewhat irritating.

Those around him, who had also heard Luo Feng's words, immediately understood upon seeing his expression...

Having been together for so long, how could they not know what their captain was planning?

Clearly, Luo Feng wasn't truly unwilling to lend a hand. Since they were going to Dressrosa to kill Doflamingo, dealing with some minor subordinates along the way would be too easy for their group; they could wipe them out with a flick of their fingers, without any trouble at all!

Seeing Violet's sorrowful state, the group did not pity her; instead, their faces showed a strange sense of sympathy.

Because they remembered their captain's consistent principles and 'bottom line'...

'Never do a deal that loses money!'

This famous quote came from their captain, and most of the core members of the crew had fallen into this trap, anticipating that Luo Feng would inevitably talk about bargaining chips next!

As expected of the 'good crew members' who have followed Luo Feng for so long, this group was right...

Luo Feng clearly did all this on purpose, intending to tease Violet!

As for his purpose, it's quite simple: he coveted Violet's abilities and wanted to get her on his side!

Luo Feng already knew about the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, and now that he was in this world, he had recently experienced it firsthand.

When Violet first boarded the ship, apologized to Luo Feng, and told everyone about her background, she had taken the initiative to confess that she had discovered their group more than 130 kilometers away!

This made Luo Feng, who was always calm and composed and had never lost his composure, secretly alarmed...

This ability is simply too incredible!

Even the word "heaven-defying" seems somewhat inadequate when used to describe the power of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit!

Although this fruit offers almost no help in combat, is it important to the Godfall Pirates?

Obviously not important!

The combat capability on this ship is now sufficient, not only sufficient, but even somewhat excessive.

The support abilities of the girls are outrageously strong; what's most needed right now is someone with Violet's abilities!

Being able to observe an area with a radius of over 100 kilometers from itself, with complete coverage in all directions, is simply a deadly weapon for sailing on the high seas!

Not to mention that the theoretical limit of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit is an absurd range of 4,000 kilometers, even 100 kilometers is already amazing!

It should be noted that most of the pirate ships or naval warships sailing on the seas today, regardless of size, are sailing ships.

The speed of this kind of ship is only fifty or sixty knots under normal sailing conditions. In case of an emergency, even with all the sails fully drawn, the maximum speed is only eighty knots per hour.

If you do the math, that's only a little over 100 kilometers in an hour...

There's no need to seek that vague and unrealistic four thousand kilometers; what matters now is that as long as Violet is on the Meteorite, she can know any movements of the surrounding enemies an hour in advance.

An hour is more than enough time for the Godfall Pirates to prepare and react!

Moreover, the development of the Violet Fruit's power is clearly far from its limit; there's still room for improvement!

Chapter 257 I heard you dance quite well; I happen to need a dancer.

The Godfall Pirates have been targeted by most of the top powers, and even some previously unknown enemies have set their sights on them.

It is easy to imagine that they will face constant battles and countless enemies in the future.

If they could possess such an incredible and practical ability as Violet, they would undoubtedly expose all enemies who approached them to their very eyes in the future!

In this way, it can be used for searching, hunting, or temporarily avoiding an enemy's attack, making it extremely convenient.

It can be used even when searching for rare, hidden places or islands.

Most importantly, once Nochiko has perfect control over the Float-Float Fruit's power, Violet's ability can work perfectly with it!

One is responsible for observation, and the other for long-range kills. There's no need for prediction, which will significantly improve their combat effectiveness.

"No wonder Doflamingo values ​​you so much; even I'm a little envious of your abilities..."

As Luo Feng's thoughts surged, he sighed inwardly. It was called a transaction, but in reality, he had his eye on Violet's abilities and wanted to bring her on board and make her his own.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng looked at the violet that he had teased until she was somewhat distraught. His mischievousness only increased, and a faint, almost imperceptible, wicked smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

The baiting area is all set up, time to cast the bait!

Luo Feng looked conflicted, as if he had really thought it over carefully, and said, "Of course, Violet, I'm not the kind of heartless person."

"You want me to help you for free? That's definitely not an option. My partners all know that I'm the kind of person who doesn't do things without a reason."

"But if you offer enough in return, I might consider helping you out and rescuing Dressrosa!"

When it comes to acting skills, Luo Feng has never been impressed by anyone. Even Violet, a veteran actress of ten years, is no match for him!

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Violet suddenly raised her head, her large, watery eyes lighting up as if she had grasped a lifeline, and quickly responded.

"Captain, as long as you are willing to rescue Dressrosa and drive out the Don Quixote family, I will give you anything I have!"

"Even if I don't have it, I'll do everything I can to get it for you—peles, treasure, or anything else, it'll do!"

Violet spoke quickly, as if afraid that Luo Feng would go back on his word if she was even a step too late, and rattled off every promise she could think of.

This scene left Luo Feng somewhat dumbfounded, both amused and exasperated.

"What would I do with money and treasure? See that golden bell? Do you think I'm short of money?"

Luo Feng was speechless. How come this usually clever princess was so clueless about this? Was she just too worried to think straight?

But that's not important. What's important is that the fish has taken the bait, so it's time to prepare the landing net!

"I have everything you're talking about, and there's nothing in your country that interests me, so how about—"

Luo Feng looked the tear-streaked violet up and down, raised an eyebrow, and drew out his words, preparing to make a decision.

Meanwhile, Nami, standing to the side, narrowed her large eyes into slits as she glanced sideways at Luo Feng, sensing something was amiss...

Could it be that this unscrupulous captain with a criminal record has once again harbored such thoughts?

"How about this, you can choose to come aboard my ship. I've heard you're a pretty good dancer. Perfect timing, I already have a singer on this ship, but I'm missing a backup dancer."

"Become a dancer on my ship, and I can help you rescue Dressrosa!"

WTF? ? ?

What? A dancer??

These words stunned Violet, clearly taken aback by Luo Feng's words...

She was still brainstorming, trying to figure out what she could offer to persuade this powerful figure to come and help.

They'd thought of everything, except sending Dressrosa away. And in the end, their demand was for her to come aboard and work as a dancer?!

This is totally unpredictable!

Seeing Violet standing there dumbfounded, Luo Feng smiled and pressed on, saying, "If you can become my crew member, then everything will be fine."

"I'm known for always being there for my companions!"

"If you board the ship, we will not only help you deal with a small Don Quixote family, but we will also help you settle any major issues."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Finally, Luo Feng gestured with his lip towards Crocodile, Nami, and the others...

This scene left everyone on the ship speechless. Their captain, while not exactly bad-looking, just seemed a bit sleazy...

really!

Nami's premonition came true. She stopped glancing at Luo Feng, her cheeks puffed out in anger, and turned to stare directly at him, her eyes practically rolling to the sky. In her mind, she kept cursing: "Old pervert, old pervert..."

A woman's intuition is usually right. Nami wasn't wrong. No wonder, no wonder. Luo Feng had clearly intended to help before, but then suddenly pulled this stunt. That old lecher really did have this in mind...

On the other side, Robin looked as if she had already seen through it all.

Robin strolled over to Luo Feng, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, his breath sweet as orchids, "..." Heh, Captain, your eating manners are a little unrefined~

No one heard her voice except Luo Feng.

For a moment, Luo Feng was speechless. He touched his nose, coughed a few times, and didn't say anything more...

It's impossible for me to blush; thick skin is something you develop through practice!

The two girls were right. They couldn't have recruited Violet just because of her Devil Fruit ability, could they? Giant?

Luo Feng would never be so superficial!

Luo Feng, who always believed that only beautiful women and delicious food could not be missed, would not easily let go of such a top-quality item as Violet.
